Unmoving Mountains

Mountains, so stoic
Standing so tall and so grand,
Etched upon the world's memory
As the sole witnesses to the beautiful ballet
Danced by Time

Mountains, so bold
Yet bidding me to move them
To be where I want them to be;
Standing on a timeline
Whose flow accords to the harmony
Of my innocence

Each attempt, though,
Brings me back to the same square
Thereby reminding me
That I am naught but a tiny particle
Faced with their might

For,
Clocks run clockwise 
Clocks cannot dance backwards
Clocks control our lifespans, our memories
And even the hurt that we have watered
So well in our secret gardens
That these have bloomed into exquisiteness

Mountains then, shall still be standing after
My presence shall morph into fumes
Mountains shall write of the new ballet shows
That they shall witness
Keeping silent and stoic
As if,
The world's drama is macrocosmic
Even if we all live it at a microcosmic level!

Mountains are the mute witnesses of the cosmic dance. Through ages they have been standing silent watching the fire and fury of nature, so immovable. Against these colossal formations, how puny man is! A philosophical poem of lofty content and brooding. Beautiful poem dear Anoucheka!

I appreciate most the concluding lines World's drama : Macrocosmic We are in Microcosmic . If we come to the point, wiser to say : We are measured in Nano scale. As I looked my name at top of your contest, I rejoiced. Blessings
